    Can L-R up to Hunter's Aura remember to buy greens

    1. Bullet Resist ShredderBullet Resist ShredderCore shred item, can sell ultra late game after getting Hunter's Aura+Cfists
    2. FortitudeFortitudeI feel this item is important when playing to tempo like the current meta demands, and because there are so many box souls you can farm while healing
    3. Hunter's AuraHunter's AuraCan buy early if rich, OP item very good for melee, pretty decent in teamfights.
    4. Superior DurationSuperior DurationMakes your active abilities and items a lot better. Siphon, Charge, Ult, Unstop, Metal Skin, Colossus, etc. Easier to land wallstuns especially on new map
